Shave and A...

...Haircut, Six Pence...

Walker James got his first ever hair cut on Saturday!! After getting told our daughter was beautiful, which Walker James looks no where near like a girl, Michael thought it was about time to cut the long blond off . I didn't think I would ever be the type to care about a hair cut, but I am now that person! I know it will grow back but it was just so cute the way it waved it in the back... like my dad's hair!

Walker James...

...such a big boy!

He looks so big now...

...still such a sweet pea!

...I've Got...

...A Feeling...

The Black Eyed Peas
I am sure this is not the feeling they are talking about...
Poor Little Brayden had to get his top two teeth pulled.
The background on this story: when he was just a mere three years old,
he was showing us just how fast he was in his brand new soccer cleats,
he was too fast and fell on the floor and hit has mouth into the window sill.
We were told then to take his teeth out... we decided not to. Two years later he gets
hit in the mouth, again, and his gum abscessed, so we raced him to the best
dentist, Dr. Steve Strange and two days later, he had his top two teeth pulled...
A little gum work done and we still have to go back for some more work... keep him in your prayers!! It was such a tough day for him, but he managed to go through it with no tears!!
Brayden...

...after the top two teeth were pulled!!

a little tired from all that!!

this was the best picture that
I could get of his two teeth...
I personally think they are
HUGE!!

...One, Two...

...Buckle My Shoe...

Nursery Rhymes are the best!!
Walker James is one shoe obsessed kid!!
Sometimes he has on two pairs, yes...
TWO PAIRS at one time!!!
Gotta love this little boy!

Daddy helping Walker James
take one pair off all to put on
big brother's shoes!

Yep, these will work!

if he can get them to stay on,
then he is ready to go!

...So Call Me Dr. Love...

...They call me Dr. Love...
KISS sings this song,
I will leave it at that!!

ummmm, I am thinking on this....

I am in LOVE!!

is he just the cutest?!?

...Well I've Never Been...

...To Heaven, But I've Been To Oklahoma...

still searching for the writer on this song, but the O-State band plays it and its GREAT!!!
We took Brayden and Carsen Elise to the OSU vs. Troy game...
it was a fun time and they were so excited to see old friends!!
We love all of our O-State Families...

Amy Grant's words are true!
We met sweet baby Pearce Thomas... he is truly a precious blessing! Not a peep, well hardly, ever came from him! He put up with Carsen Elise and Walker James... not sure who loves him the most out of those two, but the only one I got pictures with was Carsen Elise!

Carsen Elise picked her outfit,
I must say its a winner!

ABC...

...Its Easy as 123, As Simple As Do Ray Me...

Brayden started school!!!
I cannot believe the day has come but it has!
He goes to a great Christian private school in the half day Pre-K program. He has two teachers, Mrs. Faulkner and Mrs. High... both are just as sweet as can be!
His class only has 10 other students in it and each child is soo precious and sweet!
He loves it and is always teaching Carsen Elise... we are so blessed to be at this school...
its more like a family!
on our way to school!

he picked out his 'handsome clothes'
as he likes to call them!

his totally awesome back pack...

All I Want For CHRISTmas...

...Is My Two Front Teeth, I Said My Two Front Teeth...

I am not really sure who to say the artist is for this song, as it as been sung by many so we will give credit to its writer,
Donald Yetter Gardner.

We have a 'Tooth Less Wonder' in our house!!
The week before school started, Brayden lost his first tooth!!
Then just last night his second tooth popped right out!!
He sure is cute with his little window in his smile...
and yes his top two teeth are the next to go as they are pretty loose now!
Tooth #1 out...

His Tooth Less Wonder guy!!

Tooth #2 out...
yes he is eating laffy taffy!!

Chuck E Cheese...

...Where A Kid Can Be A Kid

sung by all Kids, every where!!!

We took the kiddos to Chuck E Cheese...
I have to say that it has changed from the last time I was there!!
It was just okay... but Brayden, Carsen Elise, and Walker James would say different...
they LOVE IT and want to go back!!
I will go back... the pizza and salad bar are actually pretty great!

Brayden and Carsen Elise

Walker James, he rode this ride
almost the entire time!!

Kaci went to be with Jesus this morning at 9:30. Please pray for strength and comfort for the family. God gives and takes away but blessed be the name of the Lord.

This is not Ryan posting but he wanted everyone to know. Thanks for the prayers.

Casting Crowns Praise You In The Storm

Priase You In This Storm...

...I was sure by now

God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives

And takes away
Casting Crowns sings this amazing song!

Kaci's MRI came back with bad news. Her cancer has spread all down her spine! Her doctors have said that the radiation will increase only by 30% and now her diagnoses has been measured in weeks... Please Please keep them in your prayers!!!

Lord Jesus, We ask you to come down once again and wrap those amazing Healing Hands around the Ronne Family! Lord Jesus, we will praise you through everything for you are the God who GIVES! We ask that you give peace to the Ronnes during this crazy time, let them see through your eyes and what miracles are you doing in them! They have reached thousands of people who have changed their lives thanks to their story! We ask that you give the doctors restful minds so they can think clearly on a new path for Kaci! Lord, we also pray for Tate, Mya, and sweet baby Jada! We CRY OUT TO YOU LORD JESUS!!! Just POUR DOWN YOUR LOVE POUR DOWN YOUR LOVE POUR DOWN YOUR LOVE!! Let it RAIN Lord Jesus!
We ask all of this in YOUR NAME,
AMEN
